“^aDo not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly) . Believe confidently in God and trust in Him, have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because ^aI am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^aI will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that ^bwhere I am you may be also. 4 And to the place where I am going, you know the way.” 5 ^aThomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “¹I am ^athe only Way to God and ^bthe real Truth and ^cthe real Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

7 ^aIf you had really known Me, you would also have known My Father. From now on you ^bknow Him, and have ^cseen Him.”

8 ^aPhilip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father and then we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and you do not know Me yet, Philip, nor recognize clearly who I am? ^aAnyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ 10 Do you not believe that ^aI am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? ^bThe words I say to you I do not say on My own initiative or authority, but the Father, abiding continually in Me, does His works His attesting miracles and acts of power. 11 Believe Me that ^aI am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise ^bbelieve Me because of the very works themselves which you have witnessed. 12 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me as Savior will also do the things that I do; and he will do even ^agreater things than these in extent and outreach, because ^bI am going to the Father. 13 ^aAnd I will do whatever you ask in My name ¹as My representative, this I will do, so that ^bthe Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. Ex 3:14 14 If you ask Me anything ^ain My name as My representative, I will do it.

15 “^aIf you really love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another ^1aHelper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) , to be with you forever— 17 ^athe Spirit of Truth, ^bwhom the world cannot receive and take to its heart because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.

18 “I will not leave you as orphans comfortless, bereaved, and helpless; ^aI will come back to you. 19 ^aAfter a little while ^bthe world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; ^cbecause I live, you will live also. 20 ^aOn that day when that time comes you will know for yourselves that ^bI am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. 21 ^aThe person who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who really loves Me; and ^bwhoever really loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and ^creveal Myself to him I will make Myself real to him.” 22 ^aJudas (not Iscariot) asked Him, “Lord, what has happened ^bthat You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered, “^aIf anyone really loves Me, he will ^bkeep My word (teaching) ; and ^cMy Father will love him, and We ^dwill come to him and make Our dwelling place with him. 24 One who does not really love Me ^adoes not keep My words. And ^bthe word (teaching) which you hear is not Mine, but is the Father’s who sent Me.

25 “I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26 But the ^1aHelper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) , the Holy Spirit, ^bwhom the Father will send in My name in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf, ^cHe will teach you all things. And He ^dwill help you remember everything that I have told you. Matt 5:7, 13, 24, 25; Luke 24:49; John 14:16; Acts 1:4 27 ^aPeace I leave with you; My perfect peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. ^bDo not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge. 28 ^aYou heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away, and ^bI am coming back to you.’ If you really loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because ^cI am going back to the Father, for ^1dthe Father is greater than I. 29 ^aI have told you now before it happens, so that when it does take place, you may believe and have faith in Me. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, for ^athe ruler of the world (Satan) is coming. And he has no claim on Me no power over Me nor anything that he can use against Me; 31 but so that the world may know without any doubt that I love the Father, I do exactly as ^athe Father has commanded Me and act in full agreement with Him. Get up, ^blet us go from here.
